The "Functional Programming Group Ghent" (GhentFPG) is a friendly group for all people interested in functional programming, with a slight focus on Haskell. We usually organize a meeting every two months. If you're located near Ghent, Belgium, be sure to check us out!

There is no future meeting pinned at this point. We will update this page and send out mail to the appropriate mailing lists when we have some idea. In any case, there will be no meeting during the UGent exam period (end of May to start of July).

Note that future meetings will also take place at the S9 building, on the 'De Sterre' Ghent University campus. The address is Krijgslaan 281, 9000 Ghent. We convene in the S9 building.

There were two interesting talks given during the 12th GhentFPG meeting.

Tom Schrijvers discussed solutions to the Flemish Programming Contest that took place at April 18, 2012. He showed (pdf) how to nicely use the non-deterministic feature of the List monad and how one can deal with strings swiftly by using trie data structures.

The fifth meeting was held during the Haskell Hackathon. The theme of the meeting was "Functional Programming in Industry". We had three talks by people who use Functional Programming in their respective companies:

Duncan Coutts (Well-Typed) - Who talked about Well-Typed and how they make a living writing Haskell code.

Romain Slootmaekers (Incubaid) - Who talked about how hard it is to get new ideas incorporated into existing companies.

Don Stewart (Galois) - Who talked about how Galois is succesfully using Haskell for their projects.

Our fourth meeting will be held on October 7, 2010, from 19:00 onward. Same location as the previous meetings: Ghent University Technicum, St.-Pietersnieuwstraat 41, Left Entrance. The program is as follows:
